Local and limited maybe, but more than anecdotal. Shows the way the wind is
blowing. It's indicative of what Trotsky called molecular developments in
the class.

By the way, in Sweden, opinion looks like this (Source: Temo/Dagens Nyheter):

		All	Women	Men	15-29

Bomb Iraq		36%	24%	48%	36%

Don't bomb Iraq	45%	52%	28%	50%

Don't know	19%	25%	14%	14%

Cheers,

Hugh
